Dimensional Emerging Markets High Profitability ETFDEHP

On 26 July 2026, the Dimensional Emerging Markets High Profitability ETF (DEHP) traded at $54.22, reflecting a 12-month high of $58.45 and a low of $47.30, per Nasdaq data. The ETF, which charges an expense ratio of 0.45%, held $1.2 billion in assets as of its latest SEC filing, with a 30-day average trading volume of 150,000 shares.

DEHP’s mandate focuses on emerging markets equities deemed 'high profitability' by Dimensional’s quantitative models. Its top holdings include Vale SA (12.1%), Turkiye Finans (9.8%), and Shoprite Holdings (8.5%), concentrated in materials, financials, and consumer discretionary sectors. The fund uses a systematic rules-based approach to select stocks, though critics note its lag against the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over three years, despite higher fees than broad-market ETFs.

The SEC’s EDGAR database shows Dimensional’s latest annual report disclosed a portfolio turnover rate of 35% and a 12.3% exposure to China, indirectly through ADRs. The fund’s prospectus emphasizes risk controls, but its 10 largest holdings account for 63% of assets, raising concentration concerns. FINRA’s Fund Analyzer highlights DEHP’s liquidity profile as 'adequate' but notes its bid-ask spread can widen during emerging market volatility.

Dimensional’s marketing materials stress 'disciplined investment processes,' yet the fund’s trailing 12-month dividend yield of 2.4% lags peers like EMQQ (4.1%) and its fee structure includes a 0.05% 12b-1 fee, which the SEC filing describes as 'for distribution purposes.' The fund’s tracking difference versus its benchmark reached 1.8% in 2025, attributed to transaction costs and rebalancing friction.

the source directs readers to DEHP’s exposure to Turkey, where political instability has driven 15% volatility in its top holding, Turkiye Finans, this year. A pending SEC review of emerging market ETF liquidity disclosures could also impact investor sentiment. No earnings or major filings were released on 26 July 2026, but Dimensional typically updates quarterly holdings in mid-August.
